Zorluk: KolayInterpreting Continuation and Causal Structural Signals

Based on the causal structural signal in the sentence, complete the blank with the appropriate word to demonstrate the logical relationship. What word best completes the sentence?

Cevap:The economic report revealed a continuous rise in inflation; consequently, the central bank decided to 【raise】 interest rates in an effort to cool down the economy.

Cevap

The correct completion requires a word meaning 'to increase' or 'raise' (such as 'raise', 'increase', or 'hike').
The transition word 'consequently' functions as a causal signal showing that the second clause is a direct result of the first. Because inflation is increasing, the central bank's logical reaction to cool the economy is to raise or increase interest rates.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the structural transition signal in the sentence stem.
The semicolon followed by 'consequently' signals a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.
Recognizing continuation and causal signals dictates the direction of the missing word.
2
Analyze the cause described in the first clause.
The first clause states that inflation is continuously rising.
The effect in the second clause must logically follow from a state of rising inflation.
3
Deduce the logical action for the blank.
To cool down an economy facing rising inflation, a central bank increases or raises interest rates.
The word must align with the causal signal 'consequently' to complete the cause-and-effect relationship.
